POC Rosie Clark has recently posted the following on her Facebook page, after deciding to do some fundraising.

From Rosie's page.

"I have decided to do something for charity. 

My friend and I are planning to do a free fall parachute jump at the end of April. I will be raising money for two charities, The Early Birth Association and Barnsley Sea Cadets. Both are close to my heart. 

The Early Birth Association supports the families and babies in the Trevor Mann baby unit (Royal Sussex Hospital Brighton). My younger Brother was a very premature baby who was smaller than a Barbie doll and weighed less than a bag of sugar. He was a very poorly little baby and needed bringing back to life more than once. He endured a lot and if it wasn't for this baby unit he wouldn't be here today.

Barnsley Sea Cadets is my home unit. I have been dedicated to them since I first joined in 2007 on my tenth birthday following in the footsteps of my older Brother and Sister. I’m now 16 and still attend cadets, my younger Brother joined too. We both enjoy the amazing opportunities that are open to us. I want to raise money for them to give them something back as they have taught me so much along the bumpy road of me growing up.

These charities are dear to me in many ways. The Sea Cadets have made me who I am today and recently gave me the opportunity to be the Navy Board Cadet for eastern area which just makes me more determined to raise money for them and give back so much. The Trevor Mann Baby Unit helps and heals so many sick and tiny babies a year and my little brother was one of these and if you look at him today you wouldn't guess how ill he once was due to the care of the dedicated staff. 

Both these charities need money to stay open and they both change lives. Please support me in my fundraising adventure. You can sponsor me by clicking the link below :https://www.justgiving.com/teams/rosieclark
